Ahh, but here we've found each other. If, on the empirical level, we
can construct something we can call *a partial vacuum*; then, on the
theoretical level, we can discuss the transcendental question: "what
must nature (physics) be like for a partial vacuum to be possible ?"

Oh yeh, vacuums have always been big business, take fi such devices
as radio tubes, X-ray tubes, TV/PC tubes, electron microscopes and
those beautiful machines the cyclotrons (at the moment my oldest
son is in apprenticeship at a food-testing laboratory and there they
also use all kinds of vacuum chambers, there's no modern laboratory
without them). But i am not in it for the money Jud, only for the fun,
and it's always fun arguing with you :-)
